We are delighted with our past pupils’ excellent reviews for the feature film “Noble” and the play “The Borstal Boy” at The Gaiety Theatre.

For the first time in 25 years, Brendan Behan’s “Borstal Boy” returns to Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, directed by Conall Morrison. Peter Coonan stars as the young Brendan in this commemorative production, which marks the 50th anniversary of Behan’s death. We wish Peter great success with the production!

“Noble” feature film starring Deirdre O’Kane now showing nationwide. Christina Noble played by Deirdre O’Kane as an unstoppable force. The three actors who play Noble throughout the course of her life are superb, meeting sometimes difficult material with courage and determination. It is an indictment of the Irish film industry that a talent such as Deirdre O’Kane has had so few leading roles. Her memorable support in Intermission was over a decade ago. In Noble, she finally gets a chance to portray a significant figure on the big screen. O’Kane herself instigated the project, which was co-produced, written and directed by her husband, Stephen Bradley.” Sunday Times September 20th 2014
